Well, there is still a suspicion that the branch of OOo used by Neoj does not include the full list of languages.
Irish is listed on this page as WIP (work in progress?) since 1.1.3. This is the codebase for NeoJ but configuration files may have slipped out the update?
Someone handy on the CVS to checkout theses files, listed here?
I tried with no success as I don't have the space to checkout the whole sources and don't know the tree to checkout only relevant files.

Edit: I did check the CVS, eventually, and the "ga" "IE" language code IS there.
Edit 2 : After a more careful check I found that Gaelic Irish is listed in required files BUT two of them:
Code:
svx/source/dialog/langtab.sr
tools/source/rc/resmgr.cxx (in method ResMgr::GetLang(...) and ResMgr::SearchCreateResMgr(...))
This will prevent tne UI to offer the choice for this language and is probably the point.
I'll file an ehancement request in Bugzilla about this.
Edit 3: This is a lack of OOo sources not NeoJ so I'm unsure if Patrick want to correct it.

By way of reducing possibilities, would it be useful to try temporarily adding dictionaries from another popular language as a test?
If this works, it would seem to validate Neoj and strongly suggest something is wrong with the Gaelic dictionary files themselves.

I've just heard from the creator of the Irish dictionary (Kevin J. Scannell of St Louis University), and he confirms that the problem is in Open Office. I don't understand the technical aspects, but I pass the information on to confirm what Max and others discovered, namely that "ga_IE" is not yet a registered locale; therefore Open Office does not recognise "ga" or "IE" in such lines as
DICT ga IE ga_IE
Kevin goes on to suggest a hack that I'll try when I get a chance, and which may also be of interest to others in a comparable situation, namely to enter
DICT fr FR ga_IE
HYPH fr FR hyph_ga_IE
and then choose "French" in Neo Office. (Presumably you would choose a different disguise if you really want French!)

This workaround works, and I'm upset because it's so simple I'd have found it!
I used Galician, which not related to Gaelic beside the first two letters, and verified that the spelling is correctly checked and suggested, using Kevin J. Scannell's Gaelic page.
BTW the HYPH line is useless as you have no hyphenation file, only spell dictionary.
I'll post diffs to bugzilla to help solve this issue.

While I was modifying the relevant files to add Gaelic, I realized that Galician has no more declaration in those files.
So the reason why the two get a different result must be elsewhere.
